    Bobcat power tilt

    Yes we did and we love it. Its on the machine I'd say at least 60% of the time the machine gets used. I dont think we would do anything different. I have a bunch of videos of me using it on my youtube channel if you want to check them out. Link to my channel is below.

    Bobcat E50

    Yes as far as I know. It works on my 2011 bobcat E50 and even on my 2001 bobcat 331. So I'd say it works on every bobcat excavator.

    What you have to do is shut the machine off, then turn the key one click so the machine beeps but doesn't start. Then hit the aux-hydraulics button and either pull the trigger on the joystick or toggle the thumb switch back and forth.(the ones that run the attachment) I use the thumb stick...

    Thanks for the replies guys! Especially the nice ones:D The show was a blast to be a part of and I made some really good friends for life. I was very happy on how the show turned out. I will say these challenges took a lot more skill than they made it look like. And lets face it if all we...

    Bobcat E50

    I agree with pafarmer, I don't think its normal, mine are silent. But... 1 - 2 miles tracking a day!!!! Holy crap! Mine just rolled over 700hrs today and I probably have tracked 2 miles total... What kind of noise does it make? Squeal? Grinding? Humming? Etc...???

    Bobcat E50

    Yea thats normal for Bobcat machines that it can be started with the safety bar down. Even my 2001 331 Bobcat Mini can be started with the bar down. What do you mean its loud? when walking? Do the drive motors make noise?

    Bobcat E50

    hmmmm very strange, no i have not had that problem... Mine doent make any noise and we have not changed the final drive oil. I have 650hrs on my machine now. Hopefully your dealer will figure it out for you, doesnt seam like you should be having those problems.

    Sorry just saw your post now. We couldnt change to the horizontal pins because the teeth were welded on. The bucket actually broke on me last week, Ripped an entire tooth off. But it was found out that it broke because of a faulty weld, not my fault. haha. And my dealer ship fixed it for free...

    Our local Bobcat dealer is actually selling the Geth buckets now. They are cheaper than bobcat brand and better made in my opinion. Apparently my dealership agrees.
